Battletoads is epic in difficulty. As a younger kid busting out the NES I'd use the Konami code for 99 lives and I still couldn't beat it. As the years went on I picked it back up and was able to do it w/ a solid number of lives left, but jeeze.... Ridiculous.

I would also agree at how hard Ninja Gaiden II was. Don't think I ever got passed like the 4th level. Kinda' surprised Shinobi is on the list, I never beat the game, but I recall getting very deep in the game the 1 and only time I rented it back in the day.

Ninja Gaiden II was hard as ****, but not when you play as much as I did. I've played so much that I was capable of getting to the 7th act without losing a continue, lol.
